This hidden ascent starts with an original piece of Flemish cobbles that starts easy but rapidly alters into a vey steep part of this climb, a test for your steering skills and chosing the correct gearing.
A good challenge specially at the end of a long ride.

Dear reader,
THis interesting short climb starts at an altitude of 61 m and then ascents to 110 m.
The interesting steeper parts varying from an inclination of 7 to 17 % is paved with the good old Flemish cobbles with make steering a chalenge.
An interesting short climb that can bite, if not taken in the proper gearing.
